Build a Bridge: The Bissell

I thought it was high time for another Build a Bridge post and as I was going through photos last night, I came across photos of the Bissell Bridge from our trip back East in 2011. Lucky us!

The Bissell Bridge is, of course, a covered bridge and is located just north of Charlemont, Massachusetts along the Mohawk Trail. The bridge was completely refurbished in 2009 and is worth a stop if you dig covered bridges as much as I do.

Originally built in 1880 and rebuilt in 1951, the bridge is perched just above Mill Brook, which boasts a lovely water fall.

If you're looking for more bridge action along the Mohawk Trail you can see a few other stops we made on our journey here, here and here.
